SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT. 


= —<@>- 


Tuts Department is designed to meet the wants 
of those young men who do not wish to pursue:a 
full Classical Course; and occupies the same time 
as the latter. Most of its recitations are made 
with the College Classes; and the same rhetorical 
exercises are required from these as from the other 
Students. 


PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. 


This Department prepares Candidates for admis- 
sion to the Freshman Class in the Classical or the 
Scientific Course. 


DISCIPLINE. 


The discipline of the College is parental in its 
character, but firm and decisive in its administra- 
tion, exercising an habitual supervision of the 
personal manners and morals of the Students, as 
well as of their literary improvement. A daily 
Roll Book is kept of the attendance, recitations 
and conduct of each Student, an abstract from which 
is forwarded, in the form of a Faculty Report, to 
parents and guardians, at the end of each Colle- 
giate Term. 


14 CATALOGUE. 


WORSHIP AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION. 


The Students are all required to attend Public 
Worship in Chestertown on the Sabbath day ; 
choice of place, being left to themselves or parents ; 
also, prayers in College, morning and evening, 
and Bible Recitation on Sabbath afternoon. 


LIBRARIES AND APPARATUS. 


The College Library is large and well selected, 
and accessible to the Students, according to regula- 
tions established by the Board of Visitors. 

The Mount Vernon Interary Society has a small 
but growing Library open to members of the 
Society. ) 

The Members of the Faculty have also kindly 
extended the use of their private Libraries to well- 
deserving Students. 

The Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus is 
ample, and well adapted to illustrating those 
Sciences. 

The Mount Vernon Literary Society meets 
weekly, and is a most valuable auxiliary to the 
College Course. 


MISCELLANEOUS. 


This College, founded in 1782, and subsequently 
made a branch of the State University, was estab- 
lished in the language of its charter ‘‘for the benefit 


CATALOGUE. 15 


of the Hastern Shore or of the Peninsula of the 
Chesapeake and Delaware Bays.’’ At the head of 
its many liberal benefactors, and among its early 
Visitors and Governors, stands the name of George 
Washington. Perhaps the most interesting of its 
historical recollections is connected with the visit 
which was paid by him after the close of the Revo- 
lution. It also bears on its roll of Alumni the 
names of many distinguished Sons, who for emi- 
nence in the learned Professions and other walks 
of life, will compare with the choicest fruits of any 
other Institution. 

The College property, with spacious grounds of 
ten acres, or more, consists of a large and imposing 
centre building, with one east and another west of 
the same, each three stories above a finished base- 
ment, and all completed in a style of architectural 
taste and beauty, and convenience of arrangements 
for educational purposes, rarely excelled in any of 
a similar class. 

The site is a commanding and beautiful emi- 
nence, half a mile north of Chestertown, over- 
looking all the surrounding country in every 
direction, and embracing as picturesque views of 
land and water as probably can be found any where 
in the State. Chestertown also is particularly 
easy of access, having a daily line of Stages, both 
North and South, and a Steamer from Baltimore 
daily, from which it is distant only four or five 
hours run. 


16 CATALOGUE. 


EXAMINATIONS AND COMMENCEMENT. 


There are two public examinations in the Aca- 
demic Year—one at the close of each term, when 
it is exacted of every Student to be present. 

Public Commencement takes place at the close 
of the Summer Session, and also the Junior Exhi- 
bition. 


TERMS AND VACATIONS. 


The Winter Term commences on the 1st Monday 
in October, and ends at Easter. The Summer 
Term commences after the Easter vacation, and 
closes during the first week in August.
